Danny McCarthy’s sound instalation at Triskel is based around the Proclamation

I think if I tore up the proclamation 30 years ago I could have wound up getting shot.”

Sound artist Danny McCarthy stands in Triskel Christchurch, enveloped in the lulls, whispers and fractured cacophonies of his latest installation, titled (Re)writing (Hi)story (A Sonic Opera).

Commissioned by the Triskel Arts Centre, which McCarthy helped to found in 1978, the piece combines sonic and visual elements in response to the wording of the 1916 proclamation.
